King Charles III cleans the royal house.
Britain’s newly anointed monarch is reportedly planning to change the law governing who can replace him if he is incapacitated.
“With this move, the Duke of York, the Duke of Sussex and Princess Beatrice would be relieved of their duties as official deputy rulers if he were indisposed.” reports The Daily Telegraph.
Under Regency Act 1937the monarch’s spouse – and four adults in line to the throne – may be appointed as state councilor in official affairs.
Even during the lifetime of Queen Elizabeth II, these roles were performed by Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
Her husband, Prince Philip, also acted as one before his death at age 99 in April 2021.
The palace was under pressure to remove both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew from their roles as they are no longer working members of the royal family.
“It is believed that the King sees the incongruity of having a trio of non-working Royals who could get in his shoes if he is abroad or incapacitated,” noted the Telegraph.
Charles is said to “change the law as soon as he can” and will likely bring his sister Princess Anne and younger brother Prince Edward to the position.
Apparently, state councilors are rarely appointed, but they did.
Any changes will have to be passed by the houses of parliament.
